Restaurants near venue. Details

Either we're missing a heck of a lot of them, or a bunch of places went out of business since last year.

Pfft... who needs to eat!? A TROO fan lives on metal and beer! uke:

Yes, both cash *and* credit cards will be accepted.

I know that Pizza Fusion, Pleasant Peasant and Madison Grill have closed. What else?

Thanks Jen! And Glenn!

That is fantastic news.

Fantastic, and scary. My wife's going to kill me again this year.

To also clarify the timing of the Insider Sale- does it start for Gold Badge holders at Noon or at 2pm?

Gold Badge sale hours: 1200-1500
Regular tickets: 1500-1900.

Insider sale is not located in the vendor area. That area will be open at noon to gold badge holders only again.

The insider sale will be at my table and has always been scheduled for when gold badge doors are open and so forth.

"The Insider Sale"

Attendees of ProgPower USA XI will have the opportunity to purchase cds of the bands announced for ProgPower USA XII directly from me on Saturday afternoon at the ProgPower USA merchandise table.


Gold Badge sale hours: 1200-1500
Regular tickets: 1500-1900.

Insider sale is not located in the vendor area. That area will be open at noon to gold badge holders only again.

Hmm, both those quotes say noon. Where did you see 2:00?

Bummer about the restaurants closing, especially The Madison Grill for us. Went there a couple times every year. Now we just stock up the room at the grocery store and hardly eat out at all.

 

[freakchylde]

City Cafe is closed too. Drove by there last Wednesday and something else is being worked on (don't know if it's a renovation, or not).

Chinese Buddha is open on 14th Street (across from the Courtyard), till 3PM, I think. It's not 24-hr anymore.

 

[compurocker]

Hmm, both those quotes say noon. Where did you see 2:00?

The second quote says the vendor area opens at Noon but that Glenn's Insider Sale is separate from the vendor area and has always been planned to be open when gold badge doors open, which is 2pm (though perhaps was noon at one time considering a band has been dropped from the schedule).

Pretty much what I started to do as of last year, though I still like going to Ria's Bluebird for breakfast.

Ah, gotcha. Didn't notice that discrepancy. Chinese Buddha, not 24 hours!? Bummer, though I think I can get my pot sticker fix before 3AM.

Open on Thursday and Friday, but I'm not sure if it was open on Saturday or not. They have GREAT pizza and other Italian dishes.

If you're staying at the Marriott Courtyard by the GT campus, check out the Silver Skillet diner right next door. Great breakfast and CHEAPER than the hotel's ripoff breakfast. It's a nice old fashioned southern greasy spoon diner. It's even been featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

I ate there a couple of years ago and it was cool. The bands that were staying at the Courtyard even ate there as well. Hard to explain to people who aren't used to southern cooking what grits are

Glenn states his Insider Sale will begin at 2pm in the lobby.

The Seventh Wonder set for gold badge holders is 1-2pm in The Loft.

I remember last year there's an Einstein Bagels on the corner of 14th street and West Peachtree. Great place for a cheap breakfast if you're in the area. Steve and I ate there a couple of times last year.

Is the door to the Loft near the loading dock area? I've never been up in the Loft part of Center Stage.
